Name: Linnis 'Lin' Roigh - Diana
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Rank: Disciple
Appearance: Linnis's appearance is greatly marked by heritage as a young woman of the northern Gauls. Her long hair is a vivid shade of red, though while in Rome she tends to resort to natural dyes and solutions to try and darken it. Her skin is quite fair, with her face, shoulders and upper torso being covered in a light dusting of freckles. She's taller than the regular Roman woman, standing at about the same height as a Roman man. She sports an athletic, agile build of compact muscles and subtle feminine curves that may be hidden with the appropriate clothing. Her eyes are a pure blue color and full of quite resolve.
Equipment: Most of the time Linnis get to wear no greater protection than the dresses and tunics of Roman women, though at all times she carries at the very least a dagger hidden somewhere among her clothes and small pills of poison. However, only when under the patronage and working for the Assassin's can she afford to show her true colors and wield something more suitable for their hidden work. Then she wears light clothing, a hood to conceal her appearance and face and light, leather armor for protection, favoring trading defense for mobility. For assassinations she's a deadly shot with bow an arrow and also carries around a roman gladius to complement her dagger.
Personality: Linnis is more than anything an untamed spirit, with a great dedication to the cause of freedom taught to her by the Assassin order of Rome. An usually subdued person in her manner of speaking if not her actions, Linnis has become by necessity somewhat of an actress, capable of hiding her true feelings and playing up a convincing facade. While taking her cause seriously as well as having some topics which never fail to spur her into action, Linnis true self tends to be quite a laid back individual taking what life throws at her in a stride. while her time as a slave has made her rue the institution of taking away a man's or woman's ability to decide their own fate, she has no problem in a life of servitude and duty as far as it is something the individual has chosen for themselves.
Bio: The woman now known as Diana was once the single daughter and offspring of a Gaul tribe-leader far away from the Roman Empire. The man's wife was unable to produce a heir for her husband for many years, which lead to him having a good number of bastard children and believe her barren until the day when she got pregnant with Linnis. The tribes-leader was an aging man by this time which made him soft enough to accept and cherish the single daughter his wife gave him. Thus, Linnis grew up a doted upon and loved child, whose boyish tastes drove her to the pastime of the hunt, which her father indulged her upon. She learned how to use the bow, the hunting spear, axe and dagger from him and his personal huntsman, and her childhood was filled with excursions into the forest to chase after rabbit, boars and deer. Unfortunately, her life of joy would soon come to an end at age 15... when the Roman legions finally reached her tribe. Her father would not allow her to take part in the actual combat, though from their hill fort she used her skill with the bow to aid in the defense of her home in vain. By the end of the fighting, her father lay dead, her bastard brothers the same and she, her mother and a good part of her tribe were enslaved by the Roman army. As a virgin Gaul 'princess', even if she came from an insignificant tribe, she was brought straight to Rome to be sold in the markets for a hefty sum. There she was given the Roman name of Diana due to the story of her use of the bow in defending her home. The following years were harsh for Linnis, whose rage, fear and sadness caused her to mindlessly lash out and disobey the men who owned her. She grew a reputation as an ill behaved slave and passed from owner to owner as they sought to get rid of her. However, years of servitude and punishments tempered the young woman, who eventually learned how to hide her feelings and to act in a manner pleasing to the people ruling her destiny. For a time, it seemed like she had been finally tamed and accepted her fate as a slave, even if only by keeping her true feelings hidden away. However, this complacent state would last a very short time... as she soon got sold to a new master. This one was a greedy and utterly cruel man, a tyrant in his household and possessed of a sadistic streak. Met with unfair punishments, a bleak reality and the despair of the other slaves of the household, something broke inside the young woman... something that reminded her of her years as a free woman. With a cold determination growing within her, Linnis eventually manipulated her way to come closer and closer to her master... and one fateful evening, taking advantage of the trust placed in her due to her meek nature used a kitchen knife to murder him. Linnis then ran away into the streets of Rome, certain that she'd now live a short life as a vagrant and an outlaw. What she didn't know was that her previous Master was on the sights of the Assassin Order of Rome... and her slaying of him was enough to arouse their curiosity. One of the members acted as her patron, approaching her and offering a new vision of the world, security and a purpose. With nowhere else to go, the 19 year old Gaul was taken in by the Assassins... and learning of their motives and views embraced the guild wholeheartedly. Taking her previous lessons of fighting to mind, she further refined her skills and body to become a true fighting member of the Order. As a woman, she could get in places some of the other members could not, thus learning how to become a spy and to refine he skills as an actress to take on several roles. However, her legal position is a bit of a complication... in Roman records, she was never freed and so she would be the property of the heir of the man she slew. Given that her true name would put her at best as a runaway slave and at worst a murderer, she takes on many names and lives her life serving different men of the order, posing as their slave, secretary or another unremarkable position to avoid drawing inquiry into her. However, when she's not acting as a maid, hired help or attractive lady of company to the members of her Order or their targets, she's skulking in the shadows, putting bow and sword to good use slaying those who have crossed the objectives of the Assassins. One final detail to put in mind, is that given her life and that at age 24 she has still bore no children means that either she's barren or at least as infertile as her own mother was.
Skills/Strengths: Linnis is a woman in quite fit shape, agile, strong and athletic. She depends on her speed and skill in combat, being in general weaker and less resilient than her male opponents. She has great skill with the bow, sword and dagger and is currently training to also use spears or axes, though the chances of using those in assassinations are a bit low. Linnis is a good actress, having spent a good part of her life playing numerous roles and pretending to be someone she is not. Despite the rough life she has gone through, she's a pretty woman though her build allows her to hide her femininity when wearing the right kind of clothes. Finally, she knows both the Gaul and Roman tongues and has recently learned how to read and write.
Weaknesses: Her biggest weaknesses come in the form of her dubious legal standing as a runaway slave, lacking any solid documentation that would allow her to live with her own name in freedom. She does not know the Greek tongue as well as some other fine points that a Roman lady would have been taught by her age. With her height, freckles, hair and eye color, she's quite a memorable individual, which makes it so that she has to be very careful in assassinations not to be recognized by others and take measures to hide her more distinguishing features.

Name:
Septimus Cornelius Drusus
Gender:
Male
Age:
28
Rank:
A disciple amongst the assassins, Septimus does what he can to assist them wherever possible.
Appearance:
Septimus looks somewhat you would expect an average Roman to look like, having many of the qualities that distinguish him as a true Roman. As of late the signs of aging have appeared upon him, his hair greying slightly amongst other things. His face generally remains firm and hides his true emotions, whatever they may be. He generally wears simple clothing as opposed to the lavish togas that most senators adorn themselves with, but he of course makes an exception when participating in a senate meeting. When travelling he still wears his roman lorica (body armour, including his hauberk of mail and a cuirass of metal plates) though this is now somewhat aged and discoloured – but still just as effective. When travelling light he will wear only the mail shirt under whatever tunic or other garment he has, also donning a hooded cloak to remain hidden in the shadows.
Equipment:
Septimus carries little with him the majority of the time, seeing as he lives and spends the majority of his time in the most prosperous city in the world. He, like most other senators carries a small dagger on his person – knowing all too well the threats which can emerge at any moment. When travelling, it is quite the opposite case, and he will carry several weapons with him, along with all of the basic provisions and gear that he may need for any given situation. His weapon of choice is a simple roman gladius. He also frequently carries two plumbatae – or ‘lead-weighted darts’ to hurl at any enemies.
Personality:
Septimus considers himself a true Roman through and through, in that he loves Rome itself and shares most of the traditional Roman values. He believes that loyalty to Rome is key, and that any Roman who would betray his motherland or allies deserves nothing other than a swift death. That being said he is no longer sure who else is loyal to Rome, the current Emperor Augustus forging the path ahead as an Empire, rather than a Republic. He is firm and somewhat stoic at times, however he simply guards his behaviour, knowing all too well saying the right or wrong thing is the difference between life and death. Recently he has found that he also has somewhat of a temper, the numerous problems that are building getting to him somewhat.
Bio: Septimus was born into a very wealthy family, his father’s side being one of the wealthiest patrician families in Rome. His maternal grandmother however was from a wealth plebeian family – this duality provides him with many connections and resources that he otherwise would not have access to, but also excludes him in the eyes of some of the more pompous and elitist patrician families. Throughout his childhood he received both military and civil training, studying at many of the great academies and libraries in Rome. As a young man he quickly became somewhat noticed and held several positions relating to the upkeep of Rome and the surrounding areas. At 23 he took part in a military campaign crushing Iberian rebels from Hispania, and again he was noticed and put in command of a small legion. He dealt with the defence of the Republic and followed his orders, crushing more than a few rebellions, however during one campaign his troops were decimated in an ambush by Gallic rebels, and spent some months as their captive before another legion wiped them out and rescued the surviving troops, including him. That seemed to mark the end of his military career, and from there he has taken a very active role in the politics of Rome, even securing a position as senator. At 26 he became involved with the assassin’s order through some of their contacts in the senate, their goals and ambitions seeming to line up together on almost every occasion. Septimus has watched as Rome slowly changed from a Republic to an Empire, as Octavian (before he became Augustus) and his templar allies have manoeuvred things so that the senate have now relinquished control of the majority of the provinces to him, practically reducing their political and military to nothing. They even bestowed the new name Augustus upon him, somehow managing to keep the illusion that the senate still had control, whilst creating Rome’s true first emperor.
Skills/Strengths:
Septimus is an experienced veteran when it comes to battle, having once served in Rome’s legions. He can fight the majority of enemies and win – that is if it’s a fair fight. He has also received training from the assassin’s order, and posses many of the skills they teach.
He is familiar with the general political landscape of Rome and its allies. He carries a moderate amount of political power, however lacks some key connections due to his clashes with the Templars – and their general success.
Weaknesses:
Septimus is beginning to be identified by the Templars as one of their enemies, a course of action that if continues may lead to his demise.
He has begun to suffer from small bouts of anger, occasionally accompanied by severe headaches. He sometimes wonders if he is cursed, seeming to have a fair amount of poor luck. Women and drink are also a known vice for him, but luckily he has learnt to stay away from such activities.

I did not see this! Sorry for the delay, mate!
Name: Atilius Albus Antonius
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Rank: Yet to be recruited
Equipment: Atilius always carries a small dagger on his person, as his father taught him to, when going about his daily routine and really doesn't carry anything else, nor does he own any other weapons as he doesn't see the need to. He believes the dagger is enough protection for him, for those who don't fear his name.
Personality: Like most sons of prominent senators and wealthy politicians, Atilius is spoiled, proud, arrogant, and is convinced the world revolves around him. He takes nothing, save for politics, seriously and would rather be out swooning the local women towards his bed than be in his villa reading some boring old texts. What most people don't see however, is Atilius's quick mind, and devious thought processes before he commits to an action - a skill he painfully picked up from his father. Those who truly do know him say that he seldom, if ever, does anything that wouldn't bring him profit or mention within the roman courts, making him quite famous with the senators, and a sort of prodigy they wished was their own son.
Bio:
Atilius was given great fortune from birth, being born into the wealthiest and most powerful patrician family in Rome, however being born into such a family brought along with it many restrictions and rules against him. One of the most hated of them being politics; although he has an unnatural talent in politics and swaying others to his way through his charisma, he hates politics and would rather spend his time in bed with a flock of women at his side, cooing and glorifying his handsomeness. Though, being the son of Augustus Antonius ended most of that when his father began teaching him, and in no way with a kind hand, the game of politics and how to manipulate it to his own advantage.
Despite hating every second of learning the political arts, he couldn't put blame onto his father for learning it in fact made his life more interesting, and more pleasurable. He even found the daughters of various senators rushing towards him due to the praise and mentions he gets within their households. This encouraged him more to learn politics, urging his father to teach him some of the trade secrets and accompanying him on various political trips where he saw his father's mastermind at work.
Skills/Strengths:
He is trained with the use of the dagger and the bow, although his skills in both are severely lacking.
Atilius's mind is sharper than a blade with a very rare knack for politics and knowing this fact, he uses it to get the upper hand many situations, be it political or when he's generally screwing around with his friends.
Not only does he have a sharp mind, but Atilius is also a quick learner, picking up on things faster than any ordinary man. One look at a page and it will stick in his mind for the rest of life, one look at how someone did something, and it will also stick in his mind until death.
Weaknesses:
Atilius's biggest weakness is his arrogance. More often than not it has caught him in a trap that he had not intended to happen, or that could have easily been avoided had he a humble bone in his body. Some senators joke that they thought they would not live to see one as arrogant and haughty as Julius Caesar until Atilius was born.
He is not physically impeding and would certainly lose in a fight if he ever got into one.

All accepted. Note to current players though: most of you have gone for Disciple, which is fine, but remember once the rp starts that you're still a trainee of sorts.

Name: Lucius Canutius Vetranio
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Rank: Apprentice
Appearance: (Face) Lucius was brought up in the lower class of the city, so he normally wears a brownish tunic with some sandals as footwear. He has a cord to act as a sort of belt for the tunic. He carries a tool belt on him to disguise himself as a worker of some sort, to blend into certain environments. When wearing long clothes, he wears a small special sheathe for daggers on his legs in case he needs to take out a weapon for an emergency.
Equipment: Since Lucius was a very talented toolmaker, he has made a wide variety of sharp tools that have the main function of being of use to a blacksmith, woodworker, builders, barbers etc but they also have a sneaky secondary option of being of use to a killer or an assassin. He uses these tools as weapons because they’re easier to make when quickly needed and it’s less suspicious than having a bunch of weapons strapped. Tools like axes, hammers, adzes, styluses, chisels, gouges, files, etc. These tools are an infinite armada of destruction and when Lucius gets more training, he can pinpoint those weapons in exact weak spots of the human body. His personal weapon of choice, if he had to use one in a fight, is his woodwork axe. He used it to avenge his sister and is an alright fighter with it but he really needs improvement.
Personality: Lucius has a passionate, save-everyone attitude ever since the death of his sister. His sister’s death left a hole in his heart because he felt he had failed as a protector and brother. So he fills this hole by trying to protect and care for other people. He feels it’s his duty to be a guardian so he accepts the offer of joining with the Assassin order. He is generally a calm man but he cannot control himself in situations when he sees someone being beaten or suffering in that manner because it brings back the memory of his sister and he tries to help out because he wants forgiveness from his sister but the dead cannot speak. There are situations that he needs to learn to step away from, to remain incognito. He is determined, strong willed and has no problem with authority as long as it protects the people. He is loyal to that part of the creed. He is still young but is willing to learn.
Bio: Lucius was born into a very poor part of Rome. His father was a builder and his mother went into prostitution to provide for her family but the income was barely to support two children. His sister was born when he was seven years old. Her name was Servia Canutius Vetranio. Unfortunately when Lucius was 13, her mother was dying from an STD (they didn’t know that at the time) and a couple months after, his father was killed in a building accident. The mother died a couple weeks after. The depression of her husband’s death became the catalyst in for her death. His sister was 6 at the time and he took the responsibility of taken care of her on the streets of Rome.
For a year and a half, he provided for his sister. He stole food from local market stalls, found places to shelter the winter and rainstorms and he even mugged a doctor and stole his medicine for when his sister was sick. He was her guardian angel on those streets and he ended developing a protective attitude for her. A duty has grown. When he was about 14 he one day jumped at a man in the alleyway and pointed a sharpened chisel at him; which he made. The man being held wasn’t scared actually but impressed. He noticed the craftsmanship of the tool and was impressed with it. He could from the boy’s eyes that he wasn’t a killer. He was just hungry and protective. He offered a place to stay, eat and rest for both Lucius and his sister but in return, Lucius works as an apprentice for him at his tool making shop. The man was about in his 50s and was a toolmaker. They had finally found a place to stay. For the first few months he grew distrusting of the man because an opportunity was too good to be true but after a few months he grew used to his new home. The man was like an old uncle to Lucius and Servia. His name was a simple name: Gaius.
Lucius was like a son to Gaius. For 8 years he took young Lucius under his wing and taught him the toolmaker trade and even gave him many tips on how to haggle and persuade people in the marketplace. It is a skill that Lucius finds very useful. His sister was living peacefully too. She was a very talented artist and has sold a few paintings in the Roman marketplace. She is hoping to one day make it a full time livelihood and be one of the most influential artists in Rome. When Lucius was 22, Gaius died of natural causes and left his shop to Lucius. He was now an adult and was able to run a business by himself with the skills he has learned. He will always be thankful to Gaius. He would have been another body in a ditch if it weren’t for him. For a whole 2 years, Gaius and Servia lived in peace in their new home. Life couldn’t be better for them.
Until one day, when Lucius was 24 and Servia was 17, disaster struck. Servia was missing. She went down to the marketplace to look for browse at people’s wares and goods but then disappeared. Lucius was worried and paranoid. He searched the streets of Rome for her, looking under every nook and cranny and interrogating every person that stood in his path but no one seemed to care. Witness’s said that she was shoved and grabbed of the streets by the some nasty looking thugs. After weeks of searching he had discovered one of the thugs that took her. What he found out was so horrible and disgusting to him that he was filled with white-hot rage and a thirst for vengeance. After threatening the thug’s life, he they sold her to prostitution ring on the rich sector of Rome. The thug found it funny with a sense of pride. The joke ended when Lucius shoved a sharp writer’s stylus right through his neck. He then continued onwards to the other side of Rome in a search for her sister.
After about a month of investigating, he managed to found out the name of the man who runs the prostitution ring. A vile, disgusting creature by the name of Numerius Rutilius Sabinus. Lucius knew that the name Sabinus was associated with trustworthiness. It is probably how he managed to hide his sick ways. Prostitution was legal in Rome, however forced prostitution was not and Numerius found it easier to steal girls than too waste money on buying some. Numerius kept himself to his whorehouse and rarely came outside. Since the place was a whorehouse, he just walked in. As long as you had money, you were welcome basically. Lucius had no interest in the girls. He just wanted to find Numerius and brutally chop his head and manhood into tiny pieces and feed it to the rats. Lucius found Numerius’s private room (which was empty) and managed to sneak through by distracting the guards at the door. He planted a dagger on one of the patrons and the guards had to go deal with it. Numerius had a no weapons rule in his brothel; Lucius simply had tools and managed to convince the guard at the very front entrance that he needs them. He hid until nightfall, when Numerius was alone. Lucius counted his stars lucky that Numerius didn’t have a girl with him otherwise he would have stayed for days on end just to get him alone.
He revealed himself from his hiding place and leaped onto Numerius with an axe in the air. He then pinned him to the ground and placed it strongly against his throat. He demanded answers but the truth he had learnt was far, far worse than he could have possibly imagined. Laughing while doing so, Numerius explained that his sister killed herself. She couldn’t bare living life as a whore, so she cut her own wrists. Lucius couldn’t believe it. He had failed her. She was dead and died with little dignity. He then screamed and smashed Numerius’s face with his axe. Blood splattered everywhere; it was more butchering than killing. The guards heard the yell outside the room and saw Lucius over the dead body of Numerius. He ran through the window and started running on the rooftops. He had never done it before, so he’s wasn’t an expert at it; he didn’t even know how to get back down quickly. The guards didn’t chase him through the window as they were wearing heavy armour, not exactly suited for parkour. He managed to climb his way, slowly, back down to an alleyway. When he reached the bottom, he cried. He shouted, sobbed and screamed. He has failed his sister as her protector and was now being searched for by the city guard. Numerius was a friend of some high-up people but Lucius didn’t care. He was now lost.
He hid himself on his way back home. They knew his face but not his name. When he reached home, there was a mysterious hooded man standing in his shop. He couldn’t see his face due to his white hood but he gave an eerie feeling when you are in his presence. The man revealed himself to be an assassin and that Numerius was his target. He explained how Numerius was his target but was stolen from him. He was angry but he was impressed by the way Lucius handled it but wasn’t fully impressed. Lucius made many mistakes but had potential that the assassin saw. He gave him a choice: Stay in his home and soon be found by the city guard and stoned to death or go under training to become an assassin. The mysterious figure disappeared and Lucius was left with an ultimatum. He had no idea who or what the assassins were but it was better than the alternative. He packed his important and needed items and went to the mysterious alley spot that he was instructed to go to. He knew he was never seeing his shop again, so he burnt it down. It was a ghost of the past.
When he went to the alley spot, he was met with no one but with in seconds someone knocked him out from behind. He then woke up in some sort of mysterious building. He had no idea where he was. It was a precaution used by assassins on potential people, otherwise everyone would know where it was. After meeting with some of the higher-ups and discovering the meaning of the creed, he was inducted as an apprentice. His training had begun.
Skills/Strengths: He has the talent for making tools and using them as weapons. He also is able to blend into crowds as a simple builder, woodworker or toolmaker. He is determined, passionate and is willing to give his life in the name of protection.
He is also clever in using the people and environment to escape or hide. He is familiar with the poor side of Rome and knows the ways to get around it.
Weaknesses: He is not a fully trained assassin. He doesn’t know how to fight properly and his kills are messy. He only has a basic knowledge of free-running and he is a very limited knowledge of Roman politics.
All this will be greatly improve as he trains. The weaknesses that might stay with him even as a fully fledged assassin are: His ability to stay away from the beating of an innocent. His temper when someone insults his family. He doesn’t care for “the lives of a few versus the lives of many” , he is the kind of person that wants to save everyone and is willing to risk life and limb to do so. He needs to learn balance and that death happens even to innocent people. Given his history, it’ll be a difficult thing to learn.

Well that's the strangest and most brutal killing I've ever read on this site. Nevertheless, accepted :P

I think it is similar yes, though exactly what each of those computer engineering branches cover can get a tad muddled at times.
As for my timezone, I'm on Caracas Time. It's close enough to EST I believe.
